The problem is the "sometimes". It's not universally implemented enough to be learned readily. The context menu is an option that is also often not implemented, but the dedicated button on Android reminds the user it is there if all else fails. Perhaps solve both problems by standardizing that the context menu is implemented in all apps with at least a list of gestures available? Just a thought. | |

| Jan 19, 2016 at 8:41 | comment | added | nuwa | At the moment most UI's doesn't show any indicators. We rely on the user's experience with other mobile apps and if they can't find it they will learn it - from another person or by looking it up. But once learnt it's something they will remember. Popular apps (ex: Gmail) uses the tap and hold gesture. So we can only assume our users are already familiar with that type of interaction and they will test it out. To decide if you want to go for this sort of interaction I suggest you test it out with your users. See how much trouble they're having. Based on that you can decide the best approach. | |

liked the tap and hold idea, +1 for the same, but how can I make this tap and hold more intuitive since I cannot make out just by looking at the interface (gmail or yahoo for example) that there is a tap and hold interaction available (oops, a totally new question)?
